Over a year ago we got a call from Wynton's office asking if we had a flugelhorn he could use for a new piece he had written for the LCJO that had a short flugel double for the trumpet section. We had not made a flugelhorn since we made just two as prototypes back in the late 1980's. Then in 1989 Art Farmer inspired the first FLUMPET, which quickly caught on with both jazz and classical players we work with. So the success of the Flumpet effectively put a 20 plus year hold on the updated![]()
